Undergraduate Student Advising Handbook
The undergraduate student advising handbook is a web-based reference faculty should familiarize themselves with as they take on advising role to students. From student absence to academic dishonesty, from adding and dropping course to changing majors, and from registration to scheduling, faculty will find this to be an excellent reference.

Student Career Advising
From time to time, students will seek your advice on their future career and employment prospects.  Exploration of suitable employment can seem daunting for students; however, faculty may better prepare these interactions with students by familiarizing yourself with the MBNA Career Services website.
